THE RESULTS IN THIS CITY,
CONCLUSIONS FROM STUDYING THE FULL
FIGURES.

FIGURES.
| HffECIS Of THE CORRUPTION FUND OF THE
BOODLEgs AND THE DRAM-sHOPs.
Inc complete and correct figures of the voting
IN this CITY have come in slowly this year. although
the general results were known before midnight
on tuesday. The exact figures iu some of the
elecuon precincts have been much delayed So
intense was the interest in the rict-Attorncy.
snip that when it was found that John R. Fellows
was elected beyond question: and that the Demo-
cratic vote for all the Democratic candidates ON
the State ticket and the local tickets also was
so large that there could be no doubt OF tho
completeness Of the Democratic yictory. genera
disposition seemed to get abroad among roliticians
election inspectors, poll clerks and Others to re-
main satisfied with a knowledge of the chief
features without bOthering much about details.
10 this may be due the lack of some figures
even now from election precincts scattered in
various parts of the city, on certain candidates.
1he Democratic Bosses and Boodlers expressed
the greatest confidence at the closing of the polls
on tuesday that Colonel Fellows had been elected
by large plurality over Mr. Nicoll. Their
confidence was undoubtedly due to extensive
purchases Of votes in the downtown districts.
especially in those where the influence of Doodle
Aldermen had been strong. In every part of the
city where any one of the bribc takers of the
Board Of Aldermen OF 1884 had any
following in politics, the vote of Colonel
fellows was enormous, while that of Mr. Nicol
was small Nh. Ncoll and his friends are satisfied
tiat the Republicans supported him in good
ialth with the exception of some dealing-not on
a large scale however-in the lid and With
districts. His defeat was undoubtedly due TO tho
lavish use of money by Democratic corrupters
Of the franchise.
THE VOTE on THE STATE TICKET
Much surprise was expressed at the fact that
the vote for the head of the Republican State
ticket fell below that for Theodore Roosevelt fol-
Mayor last year Mr.. Roosevelts vote was CO. 435.
Frederick u. Grant obtained hardly - 900 votes.
Colonel Grant WAS lowest OF ali the Republican
candidates on the State ticket, the difference
between his vote and that Of others the ticket
ranging from thousand TO two thousand votes.
Ihs, ol course indicated some lack Of enthusiasm
lOr the candidate in some districts
y general feeling prevailed yesterday that the
remarkably small vote Tor the Republican state
ticket i'll the city was due to the des, crate oppo
sltion OF the iquor-lcaers, brewers and dstilers.
They united in strenuous effort to convince the
party by cutting down its vote that it was not
SAFE 10 attempt further restriction upon tine
liquor traihc, and their demonstration OF hostility
to Republican candidates was made as strong AS
they could possibly make it. Almost every iiquor-
saloon in Ncw-lolk has been for weeks ana Tor
months centre of digcnt effort to secure votes
against the Republican party, on account OF the
leg station Of last winter intended to lessen the
evils of the traffic and increase the lublic
revenues by heavy but judicOus taxation Oh
liquor selling.
The DEFEAT OF JUDICIARY CANDIDATES.
The Republican candidates for judicial positions
all men Of the highest character and of eNoep-
tional fitness for the bench, suffered in the
and tine groggcries upon the Rel ubcan candidates
Daniel c. Rollins undoubtedly enjoys the largest
popularity of all the distinctyely Republican
candidates presented for support in this city on
tuesday, but he fell far behind Judge Lawrence
and Motgan j. OBrien Mr.. O'Brien obtained
the highest vote of all the supreme Court candi-
dates, securing a total of lcarly 10000. Judge
Lawrence comes next with nearly 100000; then iois
low Mr. Rollins with nearly 5000, while Mr.. IIows
land has about 10000 Although Ernest Hall had
served tie community with much fidelity and
ability as city court justice, he went down with
the ,tlerS in the general overthrow, and both
the Democratic candidates for the City Court
were elected by puralities that left them
broad margin.
SOME SINGULAR RESULTS.
The With Senate District carried hand-
somey by Cornelius Van COtt, as stated yester.
day: hut only three Republican candidates lot

and MIST Districts. 1t is curious fact thai
although Ernest H. Crosby was sent back to the
Assembly, carrying the MIST District
the Republican candidatc for Alderman there was
beaten by Walton Storm, the Democratic candidate.
and Frederick Cook obtained a plura i-y IN tht
district though Mr.. Nlcoll had plurality over
Colonel Fellows in that district mucl larger than
that of Cook Grant. In spite of the dis,en-
slons of the Repub lean party in the Alllth Assent
bly, District, which prevented the election OF
Republican to the Assembly there. the ani-Gibbs
Republican candidate for alderman, Mr. Cove,
was successful. 1t had been hoped that both the
Assemblyman and the Alderman might be success
ful IN the lXth District. but unfor unately both
Frederick B. Bard and George Clark were de-
feate by small pluralites. One of the excellent
Republican candidates for Civil Justice, George y;

Justice District by a good pluraiity
